Knotfest Australia confirms Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane dates in 2024

Knotfest Australia launched in late March 2023. Slipknot headlined the three-city festival tour alongside Parkway Drive, Megadeth, Trivium, Northlane, Amon Amarth, In Flames, Knocked Loose, Spiritbox, Story of the Year, Alpha Wolf, Void of Vision, Bad Omens and Malevolence.

In a review for Music Feeds, Brenton Harris said the Melbourne leg was “one of the most enjoyable and well-organised metal festivals to ever visit Melbourne.” Harris summed it up as “a space where anyone who feels like an outcast can be comfortable in their own skin. In that sense, and in many others too, Knotfest’s Australian debut was a resounding success.”
